Marketing consultancy: a clear plan and senior direction
Strategy from someone who also runs the work, yours to act on or hand back to me to deliver.
Marketing consultancy is strategic direction for your marketing: working out where it should go, what to prioritise, and what’s actually worth doing. You can get it as a one-off strategy and plan, a deeper review of what you’ve already got, or an ongoing sounding board.
If you’ve ended up responsible for marketing without it being your background, what you most likely need is direction. A clear plan, an honest read on what’s working, and an experienced hand to think it through with, so you’re not making big calls on your own and hoping.
I’m Tamas. I work out the strategy with you: where your marketing should go, what to focus on first, and what’s worth your money. AI handles the research fast, which leaves me free to do the part that actually needs a person: the strategy and the judgement.
Strategy from someone who also does the work
I run SEO, paid media, content and conversion work day to day. So when I build your strategy, it’s grounded in what can actually be delivered and what it really takes, with realistic timelines and effort built in. It’s a plan you can act on, from someone who knows the work behind every line of it.
And if you’d rather not run it yourself, the same person who wrote the plan can deliver it. Your SEO, paid media, paid social and content all run by the person who set the direction, so nothing gets lost in a handover. The strategy stays a living thing you’re acting on, with the digital marketing services side ready whenever you want it delivered.
Senior thinking without the overhead or the wait
You get one experienced person, working fast and priced fairly.
There’s no layer of account managers, no junior-built deck, and no months-long engagement before you see anything useful. The pricing comes out fairer than a big consultancy because there’s no overhead to carry. You get the thinking quickly, and a plan you can use.
How I use AI on the strategy work
The speed comes from how the groundwork gets done.
AI runs the market research, competitor analysis, data work and first-draft planning fast, which is where the speed and the fair pricing come from. Strategy is the most judgement-led thing I do, so the thinking, the calls and the direction stay mine. AI can gather and sort the inputs in an afternoon. Deciding what your business should actually do with them is the part you’re really paying for.
What you can get
Three ways to work together, all sold on their own. You don’t have to buy delivery to get the strategy.
A one-off marketing strategy and plan. A clear, actionable marketing strategy and roadmap your business can run with. This is strategic marketing planning as a defined piece of work, the plan and the priorities, written down and ready to act on.
A strategic audit and review. An experienced review of your current marketing: what’s working, what isn’t, and where to focus. This is deeper than the free marketing audit, a proper paid engagement that digs into your actual setup.
An ongoing advisory and sounding board. Light-touch input over time: someone to think out loud with and check decisions against, while I stay out of full delivery.
Looking for a fractional CMO or part-time marketing leader?
If what you’re really after is senior marketing direction without hiring a full-time marketing director, I can help with that need through the strategy and ongoing-advisory work above. You get one experienced operator steering the marketing and a clear plan to follow, scoped to how much input you want, with the direction shaped around your business.
How engagements work
Strategy starts with a conversation, so there’s no fixed package or price list. Depending on what you need, it’s a one-off plan, a review, or ongoing advisory, scoped to your business on a call. I’d rather understand where you are and price it properly than hand you a number that ignores your situation.
Prefer a quick read first?
The free marketing audit is a fast snapshot, lighter than the full strategic review above. Answer eight quick questions and I’ll send back an honest read on where your marketing could be working harder, and where direction would help most.
On strategy, it matters who you’re taking direction from
I’m Tamas Mihaly, based in Bristol, UK, with over 10 years across agency work, freelance and running my own businesses. While at a Bristol agency I built the full marketing strategy for an early-stage startup, an electric-vehicle-charging map app.
I also run my own businesses, so I think like an owner watching the budget, with a marketer’s toolkit as well. When I give you direction, it’s grounded in having carried the risk myself.
What people ask about marketing consultancy
Marketing consultancy is strategic direction for your marketing, working out the plan and the priorities, the direction that sits above the day-to-day doing. With me it comes in three forms: a one-off strategy and plan, a deeper strategic audit of your current marketing, or ongoing advisory. All are sold on their own, and if you want the plan delivered too, I can run it.
Ready for a plan you can actually act on?
If you need direction more than another pair of hands, let’s talk it through. You’ll come away from the call with a clearer view either way.
